Truefitt & Hill West Indian limes
Alum
L'Occitane Bavx balm + Propolis
Duru Lemon cologne

A refreshing clean and invigorating shave, the Feather moved over my face as graceful as a Ballet dancer, two pass shave, with minor touch up, l'm liking the Duru lemon cologne big time more of a everyday splash rather than a full on cologne, the Mother inlaw brought back six bottles from Turkey, so I have enough to last me a few years, keep those straight razor photo's comming they all look amazing.

No shave for me today either, which is a break with tradition for a Tuesday

Gas repairs in our street mean we have no hot water, so we're having to make do with boiling kettles. I couldn't hog the bathroom for that long so I'll either shave tomorrow night or as normal on Thursday morning. Enjoying the extra growth though for an even better shave later in the week!

Have a great day everybody!!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Semogue 2010 LE #66

Maxterpiece:Worked Back Grelot "Marque"

Strop: Kanayama

Soap/Cream: L'Occitane Cade

Astringent: Thayer's Lavender

After shave Balm: L'Occitane Cade

EdT: Lorenzo Villoresi Piper Nigrum

Results: Before I left for my vacation, I received this Grelot. It seemed unusual to me, as I'd never seen one like it with the thumb notch and the slightly worked back. It carried a significant patina. I started to clean it up myself, but knew it would need a better touch as the scales were shot already. So, I sent it to Max to assess while I was away. When I returned, he told me he was ready to send it back. I wasn't sure what it would be, as I'd given him some free reign, but I got back a beauty that really matches the patina (which we both wanted to leave in order to protect the unusual blade etch). He dressed it in some ebony with a gold wedge, and it looks like a million Euros! Of course, the edge he put on it was superb and this newest Maxterpiece teamed up with the Cade uberlather to clean me up and leave me looking like a fresh born babe! Another shave for the record books...

******************************

Cheers!

Finish: Clubman Bay Rum

Three passes is fairly rare for a workday but I decided hey, if you don't have time for stuff you enjoy, what the hell is the point? Even after 20 shaves this razor gives a respectable showing. Just the slightest hint of a tug, it may be about time for a touch up.
